1
Important Safety Information
Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products
described in this manual.
Safety at All Times
Careful operation is your best
assurance against an accident.
All operators, no matter how much
experience they may have, should
carefully read this manual and
other related manuals, or have the
manuals read to them, before
operating the stand-on compact
utility loader and attachments.
Thoroughly read and understand
the “Safety Label” section. Read
all instructions noted on them.
Do not operate the equipment
while under the influence of drugs
or alcohol as they impair the ability

unattended with engine running.
Do not allow anyone to stand
between an attachment and the
compact loader while hooking-up.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing
away from power-driven parts.
While transporting and operating
equipment, watch out for objects
overhead and along side such as
fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc.
Store attachment in an area where
children normally do not play.
When needed, secure attachment
against falling with support blocks.
Safety Precautions for
Children
Tragedy can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence of
children. Children generally are
attracted to stand-on compact
loaders and their work.
Never assume children will remain
where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the work area
and under the watchful eye of a
responsible adult.
Be alert and shut the attachment
and machine down if children
enter the work area.
Never carry children on the

Never allow children to operate the
power machine, even under adult
supervision.
Never allow children to play on the
machine or attachment.
Use extra caution when backing
up. Before the machine starts to
move, look down and behind to
make sure the area is clear.
Stand-on Compact Loader
Shutdown And Storage
Reduce engine speed, park on
solid, level ground, disengage
auxiliary hydraulics and lower
attachment until it is flat on the
ground.
Turn off engine and turn off the
power switch to prevent
unauthorized starting.
Relieve all hydraulic pressures.
Wait for all components to stop
before leaving operator’s platform.
Carefully step down from the
operator’s platform.
Look for the Safety Alert Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety and extra precaution
must be taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and
carefully read the message that follows it. Hazard
control, and accident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
!
Be Aware of
Signal Words
A signal word designates a degree or
level of hazard seriousness. The
signal words are:
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.

Dig Safe - Avoid
Underground Utilities
USA: Call 811
CAN: digsafecanada.ca
Always contact your local utility
companies (electrical, telephone,
gas, water, sewer, and others)
before digging so that they may
mark the location of any
underground services in the
area.
Be sure to ask how close you can
work to the marks they
positioned.

Avoid crystalline Silica
(quartz) Dust
Because crystalline silica is a basic
component of sand and granite,
many activities at construction sites
produce dust containing crystalline
silica. Trenching, sawing, and boring
of material containing crystalline
silica can produce dust containing
crystalline silica particles. This dust
can cause serious injury to the
lungs (silicosis).
There are guidelines which should
be followed if crystalline silica
(quartz) is present in the dust.
Be aware of and follow OSHA
(or other local, State, or Federal)
guidelines for exposure to airborne
crystalline silica.
Know the work operations where
exposure to crystalline silica may
occur.
Participate in air monitoring or
training programs offered by the
employer.
Be aware of and use optional
equipment controls such as water
sprays, local exhaust ventilation,
and enclosed cabs with positive
pressure air conditioning if the
machine has such equipment.
Otherwise respirators shall be worn.
Where respirators are required, wear
a respirator approved for protection
against crystalline silica containing
dust. Do not alter respirator in any
way. Workers who use tight-fitting
respirators can not have beards/
mustaches which interfere with the
respirator seal to the face.
If possible, change into disposable
or washable work clothes at the
work site; shower and change into
clean clothing before leaving the
work site.
Do not eat, drink, use tobacco
products, or apply cosmetics in
areas where there is dust containing
crystalline silica.
Store food, drink, and personal
belongings away from the work
area.
Wash hands and face before eating,
drinking, smoking, or applying
cosmetics after leaving the exposure
area.
Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products
described in this manual.
Handle
Chemicals Properly
Protective clothing should be
worn.
Handle all chemicals with care.
Follow instructions on container
label.
Agricultural chemicals can be
dangerous. Improper use can
seriously injure persons, animals,
plants, soil, and property.
Inhaling smoke from any type of
chemical fire can be a serious
health hazard.
Store or dispose of unused
chemicals as specified by the
chemical manufacturer.

WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always adjust pallet forks an equal distance away from the
center and as far apart as the pallet will allow. This will
optimize load stability, protect against load shifting, and make
handling the load safer.
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
A pinching hazard exists when repositioning forks. Do not
place hands or fingers between carrying bars and forks.
1. Stop on a flat, level surface.
2. Operate dump cylinder to tilt the forks slightly lower
at the front than at the back and lower loader arms
until the forks are slightly above the ground.
3. Shut compact loader down following “Compact
Utility Loader Shutdown Procedure” on page 15.
4. Rotate locking handle (#1A) straight up.
5. Slide pallet fork (#1) to the optimized load carrying
width by pushing or pulling the fork near the carrying
bars. Be sure to position locking pin (#1A) directly
over one of the four notches in the upper carrying
bar.
6. Lower locking handle (#1A) to seat locking pin in the
selected notch.
• Check locking pin to be sure it has seated.
• Check retaining hooks to be sure they are secured
behind upper and lower carrying bars.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for fork (#2). Make sure both forks
are an equal number of notches away from the
middle of the upper carrying bar.
NOTE: Forks will adjust easier if glide surfaces are
kept lubricated. See “Pallet Fork Contact Points”
on page 19 for lubricating instructions.

cause the load to shift and fall onto the operator or others.
Tilting front of forks level or adjust down can cause the load
to fall forward.
• Optimize load stability and protect against load shifting.
Always adjust forks so that they are evenly spaced from
center of frame and as far apart as the load will allow. Keep
load centered on the forks, even when stopped.
• Never lift a load with one fork or more than two forks.
Using one fork will cause the load to be unbalanced. Using
more than two forks will not increase the lift capacity and
can make the job unsafe.
• Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
• Keep attachment, loader arms, and/or load away from
overhead electrical power lines. Place an orange warning
sign under overhead lines indicating type of danger above.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Never carry riders on the attachment or power machine.
Riders can obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with
controls, be pinched by moving components, become
entangled in rotating components, struck by objects, thrown
about, fall off and be run over, etc.
• Allow only persons to operate this attachment who have
fully read and comprehended this manual, who are properly
trained to operate the attachment safely, and who are age 16
or older. Serious injury or death can result from the failure
to read, understand, and follow instructions provided in this
manual.
• Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than
hands when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this
type of injury must treat the injury within a few hours or
gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
• Check pallet fork frequently to make sure it is properly
attached to loader hitch, forks are secured to the upper and
lower carrying bars, and fork locking pins are seated in
their notches.
• Consult your power machine Operator’s Manual for
operating capacity, lifting capacity, and operating
specifications. Exceeding rated capacities and
specifications can result in a roll-over or other serious
hazard.
• Do not abuse equipment. Incorrect use of the attachment
can damage equipment structurally and cause serious
injury or death.
• Do not travel across inclines where equipment could slip or
roll-over. Consult your power machine Operator’s Manual
for acceptable inclines they are capable of crossing.
• Do not use forks for digging, pushing, pulling, prying, or
lifting objects. Only use forks to lift palletized loads.
Section 3: Operating Procedures
Operator’s Responsibilities
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and
maintenance of the pallet fork. Therefore, it is absolutely
essential that no one operates this unit unless they are
age 16 or older and have read, fully understood, and are
totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual.
Perform the following inspections before using your
Pallet Forks.
Safety Information
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• A crushing hazard always exists around equipment
handling palletized loads. Objects on pallet can shift and
fall resulting in death or serious injury.
• Keep bystanders, pets, and livestock away from your work
area. Never allow anyone to go near or under the
attachment or its load. The attachment and/or load can fall.
• Do not drive up to anyone or an animal in front of a fixed
object such as a wall or bench. Never assume that the power
machine will stop in time.
• Use a “spotter” when it is hard to see in the direction you
are traveling and when placing a load that obstructs your
vision. A person or animal could be nearby in a blind spot.
• Never lift objects without pallets and make sure all objects
are secured before lifting them. Use extreme care when
securing round objects to make sure they can’t roll off.
• Lift only objects that have a stable base resting on the
pallet. Uneven, irregular, or round bases can easily tip off
or roll off the pallet.
• Do not lift a load that exceeds the attachment’s load guard
height, or has objects smaller than the openings in the load
guard.
• While lifting or lowering load, adjust tilt cylinder to keep
load slightly tilted back securing its weight against the
vertical face of the forks. Tilting front of forks too much can

• Do not use this attachment to lift the front or back of the
power machine off the ground. Doing so can damage the
attachment, power machine, and/or cause serious injury or
death.
• Do not chain or strap palletized loads to the loader arms,
loader hitch, pallet fork hitch plate or forks.
• Do not use fork extensions. Fork extensions can damage
forks, pallet fork frame, loader hitch, and overload front of
machine resulting in loss of steering control and load.
• Always know the weight of the load being lifted. Maximum
lift capacity should never exceed rated lift capacity of the
pallet fork. Also, it should never exceed the operating
capacity of the power unit. Use the smaller number of the
two lift capacities to determine maximum lift capacity.
• The parts on your pallet fork have been specially designed
and should only be replaced with genuine Kubota parts.
Altering the equipment can adversely affect its performance
and/or reliability.
• Always lower forks to ground level before dismounting from
the compact loader. Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations when dismounting and parking the
machine.
• Always store attachment in a secure position so that it will
not fall over.
• Always stack pallets in such a manner that they will not tip
or fall.
Transport Safety
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Keep attachment, loader arms, and/or load away from
overhead electrical power lines. Place an orange warning
sign under overhead lines indicating type of danger above.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Follow all safety precautions when transporting a load. Not
using safe transporting methods can damage the equipment
and cause serious injury or death.
• Always transport loads as close to the ground as possible
without hitting objects. A load carried high could shift
causing the load to fall, tipping of the machine, and/or loss
of control.
• Transporting loads over ramps, grades, bumpy, soft, or
slippery surfaces reduces machine stability and lift
capacity. Transporting and lifting loads under these
conditions is extremely dangerous.
• Always travel straight up and straight down inclines. Never
make turns on the incline.
• Always transport over ramps and inclines with the heavy
end of the power machine on the “uphill” side. This may
require one to drive up or back down inclines.
Compact Utility Loader Shutdown
Procedure
The following are basic stand-on compact loader
shutdown procedures. Follow these procedures before
leaving the operator’s platform.
1. Park compact utility loader with attachment on solid,
level ground.
2. Reduce engine speed.
3. Shut-off auxiliary power to the attachment.
4. Lower the loader arms until they are fully down or
until the attachment is flat on the ground or on non-
concrete support blocks.
5. Turn off the compact loader engine. Refer to the
compact utility loader Operator’s Manual for engine
shut down procedures.
6. If the compact loader is equipped with a hydraulic
pressure relief lever, move lever back and forth to
relieve all hydraulic pressure to the attachment. See
your compact utility loader Operator’s Manual for
additional instructions on how to release the
hydraulic pressures.
7. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop
before leaving the operator’s platform.
8. Use grab-handle and anti-slip surfaces when getting
on and off the power machine.
IMPORTANT: Let the engine idle at low throttle for
1-2 minutes before shutting engine off. This helps
cool the engine before shutting off. In the case of an
emergency you can shut the engine off immediately
by turning the power switch to the off position.

Pallet Fork Operation
Picking up a Load
1. Make sure the load does not exceed the smaller of
two lift capacities:
• Rated lift capacity of the pallet forks.
• Rated operating capacity of the power unit.
2. Center forks under the pallet to evenly distribute the
weight.
3. Make sure the load is balanced and secure.
4. Check for overhead obstructions.
5. Stop completely before positioning forks at the
correct height.
6. Drive into the load as far as possible.
7. Lift load just off the ground and tilt it back slightly.
8. Back out slowly to clear racks or other obstacles.
9. Position load at a safe traveling height before
moving. Two to four inches above the floor is
recommended traveling height.
IMPORTANT: On heavy loads, the center of gravity
should not be positioned more than 24" away from
the vertical face of the forks. Picking up heavy loads
positioned farther away can damage the unit and
void its warranty.
Traveling with a Load
1. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way.
2. Keep load tilted back slightly.
3. Keep forks low, two to four inches above the floor,
when possible.
4. Continually scan for pedestrians or other traffic.
5. If load is large and blocks your view, travel in reverse.
6. Always drive at a safe speed and slow down when
going around corners. Avoid sudden braking.
7. Leave enough clearance when turning to keep pallet
forks and load from contacting obstacles such as
storage racks, buildings, trees, fences, etc.
8. When traveling over a ramp or incline, keep
palletized load on the “uphill” side of the compact
loader.
9. When possible, travel straight up and down grades,
ramps, and inclines. Avoid making turns on grades,
ramps, and inclines.
10. Raise or lower load only when stopped, never while
traveling.
11. Slow down when traveling over rough or hilly terrain.
12. Do not transport loads on public roadways.
Placing a Load
1. Stop in front of desired location to place the load.
2. Slowly raise load to required height.
3. Move forward slowly with load raised until load is
positioned square and straight above its final
destination.
4. Level load to position it for placement.
5. Lower load onto its final resting location.
6. Before backing, check for pedestrians or other traffic.
7. Once load has settled, back up slowly.
8. Make sure forks clear pallet before turning or
changing fork height.
9. Lower forks before moving again.
